Sinai & The Law

And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.

All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.

The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver.

And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high, according to the measure of all the hangings of the court.

And the pillars in the entry were four, with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver.

The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass.

These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest:

Which Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses.

Having for his companion Ooliab, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.

All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts, was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.

And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.

There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.

A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket.

And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.

And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides,

Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and also the vessels that belong to the use thereof.

And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about.

And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.

So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,

With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the foresaid colours,

And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,

And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:

And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen:
